What the United Way Logo Represents
		You’ve seen this symbol around – at health agencies, day care facilities, neighborhood centers, and of course, on United Way posters and publications. But do you know the symbol’s very simple, yet universal message?
	A rainbow springs from the helping hand, representing the hope of improved lives and stronger communities made possible through United Way.
	The person in the centre represents the giver of help – the donor, the volunteer, as well as the person who receives much needed services.
	The helping hand at the bottom showing that everyone is supported and uplifted through United Way efforts, cradles the image in the centre, based on the universal symbol of humankind.
	These three simple figures–the helping hand symbol – represent the sum total of United Way mission – to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action.
